Discussion about bringing reading material on long hunting trips. The speaker mentions getting stuck hunting sheep in fog/snow, and his brother had brought a book which they cut into thirds to share among three people. The book is described as 'a biography of the first superintendent of the Nali [Denali] National Part [Park]' and characterized as 'Not a great book, some good stories in there,' including stories about hunting bears for bear lard to make biscuits.
